Keith Richards performed at two California benefit concerts over the weekend paying tribute to his late friend, country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons. During the shows, the Rolling Stones guitarist duetted with pop chanteuse Norah Jones, covered the Parsons-penned Byrds tune "Hickory Wind" and led a star-studded sing-along of the Stones' "Wild Horses." "He opened doors," Richards said of Parsons, who died at age 26 in 1973." Link
